Yesterday I blasted the Red Wings for picking up Kyle Calder, but today I have to praise them for acquiring Todd Bertuzzi. They’ve completed a deal, which is pending league approval and a physical, which will send a conditional draft pick and prospect to Florida. Adding Todd Bertuzzi is always a good thing. Now, Bertuzzi has only played seven games this season, but he registered seven points, and is seen as a prototypical power forward. Bertuzzi has 224 goals and 536 points in 717 career games, and more than 1000 PIM. He is a minus player throughout his career, and there was the whole Steve Moore flop. But, two cities removed from that now, and under a great coach in Detroit, if he’s healthy, Todd Bertuzzi is going to be enormous for the Red Wings in the playoffs.
